# Members and roles

The people in a Space are its members. Each one has a role, and a few things are kept for owners and editors.

## See who's in a Space

Go to **Settings › Space**. **People** lists everyone in the Space, with you first. Someone who is in a note right now shows which one.

On Home, the line at the top shows the Space's name and how many people are in it, once there's more than one.

## Roles

- **Owner**: the person who creates a Space is its owner.
- **Editor** and **member**: the other roles a person can have.

Settings doesn't show each person's role yet.

## What owners and editors can do

- **Invite people** to the Space, as described below.
- **Publish** notes, update their pages and unpublish them. Other members see whether a note is published, but can't change it. See [Publish a note](/p/docs/publish-a-note).
- **Change the Space's template settings.** See [Templates](/p/docs/templates).
- **Set the Space's time zone for shared notes.** See [Daily and recurring notes](/p/docs/daily-and-recurring-notes).
- **Set up recurring notes for other people**, when the Space allows it. An owner chooses whether that's owners only, or owners and editors. Everyone can set up notes for themselves.

## Inviting people

Owners and editors can invite people. In **Settings › Space**, under **People**, choose **Invite**, type the person's email address, pick a role (**Member** writes and comments; **Editor** also publishes and invites) and choose **Send invitation**.

![Settings › Space › People with Invite open: an email address, a role and Send invitation](https://niv.md/docs-media/invite.dark.png)

The person gets an email with a link to the invitation. It lasts 7 days. Until then it shows under **Invited**, where you can **Cancel** it.

To accept, they sign in to Niv with the address the invitation was sent to. The invitation shows up in Niv as a card, in the Space switcher at the top of the sidebar, and in **Settings › Account**, where they can also **Decline** it. Once they accept, the Space is in their Spaces.
